Then we're done. Numpy is an array package, NOT a matrix package, and while you can implement matrix math with arrays (and we do), having quick and easy mnemonics for common matrix math operations (but uncommon general purpose array operations) is not eh job of numpy. That's what the matrix object is for. Yes, I know the matrix object isn't really what it should be, and doesn't get much use, but if you want something that is natural for doing matrix math, and particularly natural for teaching it -- that's what it's for -- work to make it what it could be, rather than polluting numpy with this stuff. One of the things I've loved about numpy after moving from MATLAB is that matrixes are second-class citizens, not the other way around.
